Get a feel for the resort

You'll be more at home in a horse and cart than a car in purpose built Avoriaz. A compact, traffic free haven for skiers, perched high in the mountains of the huge 'Portes Du Soleil' ski area - which spreads over eight resorts and crosses the border into Switzerland. Being so high, Avoriaz enjoys a good snow record, an enviable location in this extensive and well linked ski area and fantastic board parks all within easy reach. Good for beginners, fabulous for intermediates and families with all properties offering maximum convenience with ski in - ski out access.
The apres ski scene generates a good atmosphere in the resort but your choice is limited to a few bars. This is a skiers and boarders heaven, with a great snowy playground at your feet, but little else if snow sports are not your thing.
